Earlier this year, Apple introduced its Foundation Model Framework during WWDC 2025, allowing developers to use the company’s local AI model that is for power features in its applications.
The company said that with this structure, developers gain access to the AI model without worrying about any estimate cost. In addition, these local models have capabilities like directed generation and equipment calling.
As the iOS 26 is rolling to all users, developers are updating their apps to include the features operated by the local AI model of Apple. Apple’s models are smaller than the leading models of Openai, Anthropic, Google or Meta. This is the reason that local-care facilities improve the quality of life to a great extent with these apps rather than presenting major changes in the workflow of the app.
Below are some of the first apps to tap in Apple’s AI framework.
